How much power was the Evo making though? If you're talking about a 23whp loss and the car was making only 220 that is a big deal, what percentage was the loss, if it is the AMS Evo making ~750whp that is still a large loss, but nothing in comparison to >10% loss.
Obviously you get what you pay for, but if someone is aiming for 3-400whp on a budget and making 320 instead of making 335 is not that big of a deal....in my opinion at least. Not if it means saving 200+ dollars.
